“I’m bored” said no teacher ever during distance learning. It’s been so busy, but I’m very grateful to be able to connect with my students! I filmed this read aloud today for next week and know my students will love it! Now, they’ll never be bored again! 😉

🎈🎉Last weekend a past student’s mom reached out and said they were having a drive-thru quarantine style birthday celebration for their daughter’s birthday and asked if I would come. Corbin drove me over today and I stood up in the sunroof with this sign! It made my heart so happy to see her smiling face, and for a few moments it felt like everything was normal in the world. 💗 Day made. Don’t worry we kept our social distance the entire time.

✍️ This a short clip of one of the videos I filmed today for a lesson next week. This is a very simple writing activity where students gather their favorite foods from the kitchen and draw/ write a list. I will share this video by uploading it as an unlisted video to YouTube and share the link via google classroom. If you have questions about google classroom, you can check out my google 🍎 stories saved to my highlights!

What a whirlwind... I miss my students, I miss my colleagues, I miss our classroom. I miss everything about our routine. I can’t believe this is our reality, but I’m determined to make the best of it. If I can’t be with my students, teaching and connecting with them virtually is the next best thing! 💗 I’m also thankful for having to step outside of my comfort zone and try new things in the “virtual classroom”. It’s opening up new possibilities for future teaching and learning!

My students 💗 “how to” writing every year! It’s so fun to see their ideas about what they can teach others. Can you guess which one was my example?! 😂

😍 This is one of my favorite mentor texts to introduce “how to” writing! There are few words, but the pictures are so detailed and captivate my students!

👊🏻 💗 I’m not sure I’ve ever received a more inspirational note! A sweet student walked in and handed this to me this morning. Just what I needed to hear!

😍 My students far exceeded my expectations on our group research projects! They worked in groups of 4 and researched an animal of their choice using @epic4kids . After students gathered their information they worked on drawing their animals scientifically! This project included many mini lessons on how to find information, how to work with a group, and how to compromise! Can’t wait for our next group project!
